    I dont think its too long...i just think peoples attention span is too short. Everything needs too be done and done now apparently.

    It’s been out one week and I will have the program done tomorrow…And I’ve seen others done a couple days ago…It is definitely not too bad of a grind.

    I don’t think there’s anything that needs to be changed. It’s not supposed to be done in even 3-4 weeks let alone 1-2. With the XP missions, mini seasons and conquests it’s not hard to at least get a few players from each division fairly quick.

    This whole game is a grind.

    I’ve refused to grind this year. The only thing I’m doing is the weeklies moments and I’m only playing ranked to see how I go.

    I’ve literally only got about 10-15% of TA1 done 🤣 0-5% of TA2.

    I now feel pressured as my team is still set 1 heavy

    It ain’t for the casual unfortunately.

    I've also sort of given up on TA this year.

    I only have been doing the special programs like Kaiju, Mexico series, WBC type . Those are fun because it's a more manageable grind for me.

    Kinda in the same boat, I grinded TA1 and only got about 40% of it complete. I didn’t have the time/motive to do it all knowing by the time I get the card I want I’ll only be able to use them a couple of weeks before I replace them.

    And also now my team is set 1 heave as well with not a lot of stubs.

    Sorry but the TA grind is too much. Takes most people way too much time if you are trying to get everything done. Sure, if all you do is TA then its fine, but who wants to do that? I sure don't. Too many other fun things to do. I am shooting for 50% of TA each set, and if I don't even make it that far then fine. In fact, this whole season seems more of a chore than fun at times.

    Just play the TA2 mini seasons. Every time you get 5 wins its 1 TA2 voucher for 4k XP, so if you get 25 wins in a seasons thats 20XP without even playing the playoffs. Not to mention if you load up on future stars and Incognito players it goes even faster

    Personally, I think loading from one team and play vs CPU would be quicker. A pitcher with about 18x Ks and the offense putting up 30 or so runs will easily meet that 2000PXP mission. That would be an 8.5 inning game worth 5K program points.

    Yea. The grind is huge. I just do enough to get the cards I want really. I usually do all 3 showdowns first, then all 3 conquest with set 1/set 2 players. 139 on set 1 and like 50 on set 2 so far. TA cards aren’t good enough to make the 1st team, so I’m not super pressed about them.

    The only thing I agree with on this post is to put captains sooner. Having to get 10 hits with 92 overalls is a chore. I do like being able to bring them to events with you, lets you kill 2 birds with one stone.

    I wish they would take a page out of the Show 21 book in regard to TA and conquest. The rewards and grind were fantastic 2 years ago. Perfectly balanced. The rewards are just sad in comparison and the grind is too long.

    I don’t think the grind is too much if you play the game with the purpose of completing TA. It is probably perfect for someone that wants to play the game in that manner. Meaning showdowns, conquests, pxp grinding on rookie with mission players, etc. If you try and let it come naturally with online play, it takes forever. I have played this game a ton this year and have only completed two divisions of TA1 and that was with completing showdown, conquests and many of the pxp missions.

    1. Bring back the old exchange format. Let us clean out all the dupes we have in our binders.

    2. Front load the captains in each TA set so we get them all within 40% of completion. At least this way we can have them in our lineups sooner to get the PXP done. It's brutal finishing 1-2 at a time and then barely unlocking another.

    I'm at least 45% done with each division and I started actively focusing on it...yesterday. I'd suggest watching some youtube videos to see how to quickly complete this program, clearly you're going about it the wrong way. You're the same guy that will complain that there's nothing to do but ranked seasons when you finish the program.

    I haven’t played one mini season yet

    I have every division at 75% or higher with my highest division being 87%

    I’ve grinded the events using the incognito series cards, future star cards and captain cards when I could to grind out their stats or PXP missions

    if I played conquest, I would also use future stars, incognito or captain cards.

    I believe I have 5 or 6 captain cards left to complete missions with and from there I may bite the bullet and start a mini season. But building incognito and team XP in events has helped me

    Obviously the the moments, conquests, and showdowns take time as well but as others have stated, Team Affinity isn’t meant to be a quick grind.
